Impact of aviation on Northeast Philadelphia

Dr. Harry C. Silcox and Jack McCarthy bring us this final installment on the history of avaition in Northeast Philadelphia in the Northeast Times. It puts into context some of my childhood memories of driving up the Boulevard and stopping at the airport to look around.

However, those plans did not come to be. Read the entire story here and thanks harry and Jack.
